Burned by eclipse/swt libraries

[Langley]

First off, let me say I'm thrilled about the potential of this toolkit,
however...

So I go to start-up on Fedora Core 5 and I immediately get burned by
eclipse's dependency on native code. Specifically the version shipped
with the GWT toolkit requires libstdc++.so.5. As luck would have it
fedora 5 has libstd++.so.6 installed.... argh!

I'll try and post back with directions on fixing this. Too bad GWT
needs native code and wasn't written on top of swing which would've run
'more' places (anywhere is such a strong word ;^) By the way "cheating"
and creating a symbolic link between /usr/lib/libstd++.so.6.0.8 and
libstdc++.so.5 won't work; don't bother trying.

The fix was simple enough...

su to root and run # yum install compat-libstdc++-33.1386

Good luck trying to embed Mozilla within a Swing app...

Not sure if you meant the 1386 to be there. This is the command that
worked on Fedora Core 5:
yum install compat-libstdc++-33

Thanks. This worked perfectly on Fedora Core 5.

Hi all,

This is being added to the known issues list. The dependency on
libstdc++ should be gone in the next release.
